Recovered Memories is the story of Reza Guerrero and Sam Chávez, a modern-day Romeo and Juliet, whose brief love affair is shattered by the ethnic, social, and class confusions of the 21st century. When Reza's father is falsely accused of sexual molestation, the young Mexican-American couple's family relationships are shattered. But unlike their predecessors from Verona, Reza and Sam find an ingenious, thoroughly modern way to salvage their romance. This is a love affair that does not end in tragedy. Recovered Memories is a story of romantic obsession, secrets, and of memory in all its self-deceptive, fragile elusiveness.
